AtHome America Recalls 4-Wick Candles

December 11, 2007     Spanish
AtHome America is recalling about 6,300 four-wick decorative candles. The candle's wicks are in close proximity, causing the candle to burn unevenly and faster than expected, posing a potential fire hazard.

The firm has received one report of melted wax on a table. No injuries or property damage have been reported.

The recall involves four-inch, square-shaped candles with four wicks. The candles were sold in three styles: the Earth Hue Toasted Nutmeg and Spice candle, the Holiday Hue candle, and the Golden Metallic candle.

The candles were sold by AtHome America consultants from the 2007 Fall & Holiday Catalog from August 2007 through October 2007 for about $17. They were made in Vietnam.

Consumers should stop using the candles immediately and contact their AtHome consultant for a full refund. The company has sent direct notices to sales consultants and candle owners.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact AtHome America at 800-928-4663 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.athome.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
